Did you know how amazing the Silhouette Cameo (or Portrait) is at cutting fabric?!? If you haven’t tried it yet, you just gotta! I cut out some cute, little heart shapes to make sweet, little, heart-appliqued onesies for my soon-to-be-born granddaughter. Yes! It’s a girl! She’s due any day now and if she’s here by Valentine’s Day these onesies will be perfect for her to wear on her first Valentine’s Day!
I found the pretty pink and white heart-patterned fabric at JoAnn’s. Following the directions on the Silhouette fabric interfacing, I simply cut a piece of the interfacing a bit smaller than my 12 x 12 square of fabric. Then I ironed the interfacing onto the back of the fabric. Next I trimmed the fabric to the same size as the adhered interfacing and removed the paper backing. Then I placed the fabric (interfacing side down) onto a cutting mat. I selected “fabric” in the cut settings and switched to my blue blade. (How smart of Silhouette to make a blue blade so we remember not to cut card stock with it!)
I am just so impressed at how well that machine cuts fabric! It amazes me every time! I didn’t have to cut any attached threads at all. I just lifted the corner and peeled away the excess fabric leaving nicely cut hearts on my cutting mat.
Since I used the “clean cut” interfacing, all I had to do was iron the hearts down on the onesies, holding the iron for about 8 seconds.
I just had to put a heart on the bottom! I was losing daylight fast when I took that photo so the bottom heart wasn’t ironed-on yet, but you get the idea! I have some hearts left over. Maybe I’ll make a pillow!
With a brand new baby in the family, I’m sure there’s a lot of onesie decorating in my future.
Because my daughter was a competitive gymnast, I just had to make a “future gymnast” onesie for her baby shower a few weeks ago. I used my favorite medium (glitter vinyl)!
Have you got any onesie ideas you’d like to share with me? I’d love to hear them!

These are adorable. I love that you put a heart on the back of the onesie too! Very cute!
Thanks Pam! I can’t believe how easy it was to make these!
It really is amazing how easily the machine cuts! I was giddy when I saw that it worked. But anyway, nice job! The onsies turned out nicely.
Thanks Dee! I love how it cuts fabric. Next I want to try using the sewable interfacing to get a finished edge. We’ll see how I do with that!
I don’t have a silhouette…I can only imagine the fun!
This is from a Shabby Chic Disney Baby Shower where I used a rubber stamp for several itens, including fabric ink on a onesie for the new arrival… Thought you might like it!

Hi Vickie! I hope you get a Slhouette some day….you will love it! And thanks for showing me the onesie. It’s precious, I love that idea!
Your onesies are so sweet! Love the heart on the bottom! And of course that glitter vinyl is amazing.
These are so sweet for the sweet little grandbaby girl you’ll have soon, if not already!
Thanks Lori! She’s not here yet….still waiting!
No baby in my future any time soon but maybe a cat onesie is in order….
